Fabric Flower
Tried making flowers from Suffolk puffs (yo-yo's), quite pleased with the results, another textile flower to file away for future reference.

TAD Day 27 – Deerstuff’s Coloured Dreams: “Apple Blossom” (Flower-Brooch + photo)
For today, I made another delicate fabric flower brooch...
I think springtime was always close to my heart! ;)
tad 2010-24 Double Sided
I think these are double-sided fabric yoyo pendants (I haven't added any attachments like pins or hooks, so what they will eventually be is TBD). one picture is the opposite side of the other)
A thought: last year I didn't know TAD was only one month long and was sorely disappointed when it ended. This year, I've been a little more prepared, but somehow it doesn't seem any less sad. If anything, I think I am just sadder a little sooner. Anyone else getting the blues about it?
(On the bright side, since I'd like to try ending on a positive note, i dished out a bit of that kimchi I made yesterday to my neighbors today and just got a thank-you-it-was-good-with-my-dinner-tonight email, so it must have been good!)

TAD Day 22 – Deerstuff’s Coloured Dreams: “The Duchess” (flower-brooch & photos)
Today I've made this flower brooch using black & dark blue tulle, silk, organza and some faux pearls & seed beads for the center. I'm pretty happy with the result but I'd really love to hear your thoughts!
I think one of these days I'll make a bracelet for this brooch and maybe some earrings, too...

TAD Day 21 – Deerstuff’s Coloured Dreams: “Rose of Siam” (flower-brooch + photo)
Choosing a proper name for my 21st thing was a sort of challenge for me... In fact, I think it was harder than making this flower-brooch!
Finally, I decided to name it “Rose of Siam” because it reminds me of the exotic beauty of Thai flowers.
What do you think about it?
Knitted Flower Brooch
Following on from the i-cord flower post of yesterday, I made a forget-me-not brooch today.
I knitted two stems from i-cord, one slightly longer than the other, then attached these to the back of the flowers. I knotted the stems and arranged the flowers. I can either attach the blooms directly to a garment or back the flowers with felt and sew on a pin.

TAD Day 19 – Deerstuff’s Coloured Dreams: “Tango” (flower-brooch)
My 19-th "thing-a-day" is inspired by the wonderful tango dance scene from the movie “Scent Of A Woman” ;). Do you remember? 
Hoo-haa!
Flowers Made from Knitted i-cord
Today I'm making flowers from i-cord (you could use French knitting). I knitted a length of i-cord 25cm (10") long. From this I formed a five looped petal flower then attached a button for the centre. I then knitted a length of i-cord, long enough to cover a hair band. When I had slipped the tube of i-cord over the hair band I attached the knitted flowers to it.

TAD Day 16 - Deerstuff's Coloured Dreams: More Flowers in My Garden ;)
"Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust. I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by. Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time."
(Rabindranath Tagore)
